The shift that felt like five
It’s funny how some shifts just drain the life out of you. Today felt like I worked five days in one. Walked in, immediately told we’re short in OGP and Frozen, and two people from GM called out. I got pulled into dairy, then spent most of the morning jumping between pallets and covering self-checkout because front end was drowning.
I didn’t even know where I was supposed to be after lunch. Coaches told me to go zone grocery, but OGP was panicking because the pick times were behind. So I floated between areas trying to help, while my own department sat untouched. By the end of the shift, freight was still sitting, no one had touched the endcaps, and the TL was asking why we were behind.
I don’t even remember half the stuff I did today. I just know my feet still hurt.
